can someone with the nittos dr post pics of them. Specificaly from the rim and side wall. i heard that they are skinier than others and was wondering if the rim on say a 10.5 inch will stick out past the rubber on a 315. im currently running the perelli p zero corsa dr and they are awesome,both in tire/rim size and grip, when warmed up.thanks

I know you were looking for 315's, but here are some pics I just took of my 275's. These are the Nittos and have over 40 passes on them. They are strictly for track use and the only driving they see is when I am headed to the track. My next set will definitely be MT's.

can the mt's or bfg's be used in normal driving in say rain just like the nittos????
I have an extra set of rims so I could probably just go with a tire for track use only but just curious.

Yea I think I will keep putting nitto's on my car, but I may put a set of M/T's on my stock rims for the track later on when I get more power.

Pics of a brand new 315/35R17 Nitto NT555Rs on 17x10.5 rims:

It is nice and vertical from the rim edge to the ground.

(Pics are from this thread. Front tires are 275s on 17x9s)
